Slack is trying to find the needs, wants, and opinions of the people he represents. He told the group that since the beginning of the 1989 session, 1000 bills have been filed, 100 passed, and 900 obviously await legislative decision in the last 8 days of the session. The legislature has been busy according to Slack; he said, We have been working 15 hour days in order to get bills through. Though the legislature has only passed 100 bills, legislators have bilalready managed to spend $1 lion a week during this session. During Slack's he discussed such issues as ethics within the legislature, property taxes on local governments, drugs and tobacco among teens, and appropriations for Quail Creek flood victims and the rebuilding of the dike. Slack did say that his newfound job has brought him a few frustrations. "A handful of people have too much power, and that's only a dozen people. There is still a group that is very but most are narrow-minde- open-minde- said Slack. Recently, a few major Utah ski resorts claimed they couldn't and the House insists that there be cuts in sales taxes. We'll lose money from tourists," Slack said. The Governors proposal to put a cap on property taxes has been defeated. Slack said, "They have decided to not cut property taxes." Also, the legislature is currently for those trying to find "tax-reli- compete with other ski resorts out of state because of high taxes. The ski resorts tried desperately to persuade certain legislative members through the means of wining and dining. Slack dislobagrees with those methods of bying; he feels that it is wrong for a legislator to be persuaded through the means of entertainment. He said, 'We should have a very tight, but clear ethics bill." Later Slack said that the ski resorts were denied the tax But Slack, however, breaks. doesn't totally disagree with lobI bying, because he later said, feel lobbyists do the state good because they save the state money," keeping the state from "Slack is willing to equally listen to both sides of the issues..." However, he did say, "They should be regulated. As for taxes, relief is on the 'Were going to cut taxes way. around $19 million. The senate insists that income taxes get cut "limit He said he wants to cigarette vending machines" to make matters more difficult for the minor desiring a cigarette. He also wants to do away with funding research programs. on fixed incomes." This will enable those individuals to keep up with rising medical care costa. Bob Slack is also doing his best at prohibiting teens from using tobacco and drugs. "If a teenager is convicted of a offense, he will lose his driving privileges," a law Slack said he wants to get passed. drug-relate- d the dispensing of "free cigarettes." As for those swept away by Quail Creek's New Year's resolu- tion, the legislature feels an appropriation of $5 million is too much. The legislature would like to receive the total amount of claims, Slack claims. Slack said that the victims of both Utah and Nevada would receive at least $2 to $3 million in appropriations. The question was brought up as to whether the state would consider rebuilding the reservoir in Warner Valley, and Slack replied, "It would cost $25 million" to rebuild the reservoir in Warner Valley, and probably wont be considered. Slack however, did reassure that the reservoir would be rebuilt, "Southwestern Utah cant grow without it," he said. Bob Slack is trying to find the interests of those individuals who wish to share their wants, needs, and opinions in this and surrounding areas. Slack is willing to equally listen to both sides of the issues residents choose to discuss. If youre concerned as to where your tax dollars are going, find where Slack will be speaking again; its very interesting. |
